Here's the scenario. You're going out for a dayhike but you never know what can happen and you want to be prepared if you have to hike during the night or camp out.
It is not unheard of to have to survive two or three days in the wilderness, awaiting rescue, if something does happen.
With that in mind:
1. What is the one flashlight you bring with you?
2. What accessory do you bring? An extra battery, lamp, etc.?
I'm torn. I think the U60 or U2 would be excellent, but there is the need for throw (what's that making that noise over there???) that would dictate an A2.
OTOH, an A2 doesn't have enough ooommph on the LED side of things to really hike in complete darkness, I am afraid.
What are your thoughts?
